Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Westside
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.3/10. It sits 2.1 points above the Santa Cruz County average of 6.8. On the softer side, court filing pressure reads 1.2/10.
Set annual rent against average income of $95,893 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $2,883, 18% above the Santa Cruz average. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
That is riskier than roughly 95% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6.1/10. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.
